No way! I already used my credits. I'll have to demo it and see if it's worth buying this one too.

Well, at least if you have to have it, you can get another CE for free!

Yeah, I know, I saw that, and I do still need the Spirit of Mystery Minotaur one. And two of the Grim tales ones. Plus, if I buy it I'll fill my punch card and get a free game too.

Another Exceptional Fantasy Tale
   

BASED ON DEMO

I disliked both previous games in this series, but I try to keep an open mind, you never know when a developer will suddenly, well, develop – new ideas or skills. This game is DEFINITELY a major IMPROVEMENT on those earlier games. In fact, it is EXCEPTIONAL.

The STORY follows on from the others, with our hero RETURNING to his kingdom, only to find it being DEVASTATED by ALURA, our arch-enemy.

But a head on battle is not the course to take. Instead, we TRAVEL BACK IN TIME in an effort to PREVENT her TURNING to EVIL. Her mother’s MAGICAL AMULETS (4) will help prevent this catastrophe, if we can get them in time. And there is a hint of romance in the air. A delightful FANTASY TALE, with lots of MAGIC, and IMAGINATION.

The GRAPHICS are SUPERB, COLOURFUL & PRECISE, with just a touch of MAGICAL WEIRDNESS. The MUSIC is also VERY GOOD, and the AMBIENT SOUND is WONDERFUL.

The HO SCENES are REALLY SOMETHING SPECIAL. They come in MANY TYPES. Just in the demo, we have INTERACTIVE LISTS, SILHOUETTES, MISPLACED ITEMS, & make-something-with-stuff-from-this-area. There are also HOS that cannot be unlocked until you find MULTIPLES OF, and FRAGMENTED OBJECT HOS.

The variety of HO types alone makes the game a TREAT.

The PUZZLES are BALANCED fairly evenly with the HOS, and are not too difficult, but interesting, and again, IMAGINATIVELY done, with a few NEW ones as well.

The ADVENTURE GAMEPLAY seems FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD, and you have a JOURNAL, an INTERACTIVE JUMP MAP, and a HINT that JUMPS you to the suggested area. EXCELLENT!

The game is a DECENT LENGTH, with an INTRODUCTION I did not complete in the hour demo, plus 5 MORE CHAPTERS.

FANTASY, BEAUTY & VARIETY, just about an unbeatable combination.

I Recommend This Game!
